LEECH LAKE WAR
.It Came Near Seine an Indian
Victory.
SOLDIERS LUCKILY WITHDREW
|f They Had Renewed Attack with
out Reinforcements they Would
Have Been Slaughtered.
By Associated Pt6bjj.
St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 13—A government
agent who has juet returned from the
northern part of the state where he has
been for some time among the Indians has
learned considerable about the recent war
at Leech Lake and of how the Indians feel
about it.
“I was for some time on the Red Lake
reservation,” he said today, "and while
there saw a Leech Lake Indian who said
that he was one of the Indians that took
part in the battle atKugar Point.
"He said that when General Bacon and
his men arrived at Sugtr Point there were
twenty ilndiane there holding council and
that they were surprised in the first place
to see the troops at all, and in the second
place to find that there were more than
twenty of them, a* they expected only the
small detachment that went to Walker
first. At that time only a few' of the In
dians had their guns with them and the
nest at once started ?for their guns. This
was the reason that the attaejc w'aj not
made while the troops were out searching
the point for the men ithey wanted to ar
rest. The Indian that remained on the
point lay hidden in the woods waiting for
the others to come bac'K with their arms
and ammunition. We said that when the
soldiers were beating around throughout
the woods they passed twice within a few
yards of where be was hiding.
"The attack was made soon after the
other Indians returned with their gune.
He said there were thirty-two Indians in
the fight and that three of them were kill
ed and several wounded. He said that
when the first fighi opened the Indians ahd
one thousand rounds of ammunition and
that they fired all away the first day. They
did little fighting on the second day but
withdrew for more aanmunition and rein
forcements. He said that they ordered a
large amount of ammunition and thirteen
new' men <and returned to the battle ground
on the secvnd morning after the fight pre
pared to wipe out eyveiannm zbmbhhwypb
pared to wipe .out every man in the place.
When they reached there they found that
the troops had left the battlefield and gone
back to Walker.”
The Indian said the soldiers fought
bravely but that if they had not with
drawn when they did they would have all
been killed.

RUSSIAN CHURCH
IN AMERICA
Arrival of the Bishop Who is
to Administer its As
fairs.
By Associated Press.
New York. Dec. 13.—Among the passen- ■
gers arriving on the French line steamer j
< hampagne was Bishop Tikhon, newly ap- j
pointed head of the Russian church in
America, tilthough nominally he ■i i s bishop ■
of the Aleutian Islands and Alaska.
He was met at the pier by the Russian '
consul general and members of the Rus
sian consul general and members of the I
Russian colony in this city and escorted >
at. once to -the Russian church where, in
accordance with the customs of his church,
he conducted a service of thanksgiving for I
his safe arrival.
A reception •followed in the apartments
of ths rectory of the church, where the
dwshop will reside during his brief stay in
New York before going to his new field of
labor. Here he received received repre
sentatives of .the different associations and
nationalities belonging to his flock, includ
ing Servians, Arabians, Montenegrins and
Russians.
■Bishop Tikhon's secular name is Vasily
Belarin. He was born in 1865 and has at- I
tained his prominent position at an early
age even for a Russian ecclesiastic. He
was graduated from the St. Petersburg
theological academy in 1888, and immedi
ately entered ’upon pedagogic work, at
which he continued almost to the time of
rank. He recently served as bishop of
Livblin and Vicar of Khtoma, the Warsaw
diodesc. His new diocese is said to be
larges: in the world, as it includes the
•whole of Nojth America and comprises
about thirty parishes with as many
churches and seventy chapels.

Poteau. I. T., Dec. 13.—An explosion in
the Indianda and Hiawatha mine, three
mUee from here at a late hour last night,
caused the death of at least; five men.
T’wenty-five others are imprisoned in the
mine, which is on fire, and it is feared that
few’ of them can be rescued. The disaster
was caused by an explosion of dust fol
lowing a blast. One hundred men were at
•work in the mine at the time. The great
est excitement prevails in the vicinity of
the mine and- the names of the dead and
imprisoned miners vannot be obtained.
"HEART OF MARYLAND'"
Play that is Impossible, Untrue, Libellous
and Recklessly Sensational.
It might be possible in the years to
; come, when a stable form of government
I has heen established in the island of Cuba,
a Cuban playwright could fashion -a play
after the "Heart of Maryland," and, bas
. ing his plot in the time of the Spanish
wars in Cuba, give to the characters of his
’ Spaniards as hideous, as disreputable and
. as repulsive parts as the writer of the
' "Heart of Maryland” gave to the charac
ters in the play presented at the Academy
of Music last night, but we can hardly
| think that the company will cross the seas
i and attempt a presentation of the play in
j the theatres o f Spain.
However, after thirty years have gone
by the Spaniards may ait quietly in front
ot the curtain and see their countrymen
traduced by the malignant playwright
j through the actors who play the parts.
Such a thing is made possible by the fact
that the “Heart of Maryland,” the scenes
of which are placed in the time of the
civil war in thia country, can now draw
audiences of southern or northern people
who will pay their money to see a perfor-
I mance that is untrue and unwholesome in
everything but the moral .which is the
1 common one that teaches the inevitable
| end of the traitor and the scoundrel.
The saving feature of the "Heart of
. Maryland” is that it pays a compliment
to the southern woman. It throws the
southern girl—the gentlewoman,the hero
ine, in strong contrast, to the man who,
wearing the uniform of the southern sol
dier and officer, is as base, as treacherous
and as brutal as the most unwholesome
mind could wish . It is true that the man
is not of southern birth, but we find the
, traitor in the southern grey and honored
I with a position of trust in the army of the
| Confederacy. We find southern soldiers
who stand by and see him cruel, gross and
insulting to a woman and we find a south
ern officer aiding 'him in his meanest and
most treacherous act of all, when he
wrings a confession from the half crazed
heroine and makes the officer write the
words in black and white to be used to
her degradation. No officer of the north
or south would have, even at the cost of
his life, been guilty of the deed and no
such impossible situation should be con
ceived.
I The whole play is unwholesome. It is
I full of morbid situations, of misery and of
the most extreme pain. "Lamenration,
mourning and woe” properly describe the
first three acts of the play and the brief
sunshine in the fourth is not sufficient to
dispel the gloom. The play leaves a bad
taste in the mouth. It is the story of
a northern hero and a southern heroine,
i both of them good and both of them im
possible. Surrounding these are two
minor characters on the southern side,
anu wearing the Confederate uniform who
are mostly bad and some of them r.raiiors
and it is to be hoped and must be believed
all of them impossible.
The situations in the play are strongly
sensational, but without a spar* of pleas
ure except in the final tableau. 1 lie peo
ple who handled the parts la-t night are
unfortunately stagey and not real m their
acting, with the exception of the heroine,
Miss Alma Kruger, who, saving a painful
effort at a southern accent, was well up to
the tragedy of her part and pleasing in
her too infrequent opportunities to display ;
a lighter touch. ;
For those who want blood and hair and |
■tears and utter wretchedness and who at ■
the same time have no memories and ni j
sympathies either for soldiers of the north
or the south "The Heart of Maryland
furnishes forth three 1 hours of exquisite
sensation. But for the mind that is not
morbid and not entirely free from kindly
sentiment, to say the least of it, for the
north or the south, the “Heart of Mary
land” will always be a dismal memory of
he stage.

President’s Day a Holliday-Children to be |
Ih Reviewed.
■ ——
The Beard of Education held its regu
lar meeting ait the office of the superin- ■
tendent last night: Ten members were ■
present.
A letter was read from the reception
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
requesting that the children of the public
schools be granted, a holiday next 'Monday,
the day on which the president will arrive.
After some discussion the request was i
granted and the school children will get i
another holiday that was unexpected. j
They will, in all probability, be formed in i
line and marched to the front of the re- i
viewing stand where the president can see j
them. It is also probable that they will I
carry flags as suggested.

MACON NEWS TUESDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 13
Aguinaldo Arrive*.
Aguinaldo jumped quickly out of his
carriage as it stopped at the convent door
—slight of stature, lithe and agile, a very
military figure in his new khaki uniform
and white helmet. He skipped nimbly up
stairs and presently, with some of his
councilors, appeared at the window The
crowd that had cheered a little when he
came in gave another shout at this sight
of him, and then one of the councilors
spoke.
The speech was in Tagalog, and it wa<=
full of nice things about the people, their
loyalty to and suffering for the cause, the
achievements they had won, the glory that
would be theirs, the greatness of their
leader and his devotion to their common
cause It wound up with a call for vivas
for Aguinaldo and liberty, and then 1
heard how Filipinos can yell They would
make a notable impression on a football
field.
The crowd, which had listened with ab
solute silence, turned itself loose at. the
word and tilled the air with its shouts
There was a response from one of the local
dignitaries standing in the crowd. Then
Aguinaldo disappeared from the window
tho bands played the Filipino national air
and the groat home coining of the king
was over.—Oscar King Davis in Harper’s
Weekly.,
The Xavnl Officer.
The proposed personnel bill recognizes
the necessity which is obvious today, and
which will grow more so in the future, that
the naval officer should be an engineer as
well as be proficient in ordnance and in
navigation and in tho other duties inci
dental to command. When ono realizes
that from a fourth to a half of the crew of
our ships is in the engineering department,
one appreciates how important it is that
the commanding officer should widen his
curriculum of study and understand the
tools and tho machines and the power
which run them and Yun the ship, so as
to make, himself indeed an officer worthy
to command.
Ono of our prominent captains in the
navy said substantially, not long ago, that
if he had any timidity and fear when in
command of a great battleship it arose
from his ignorance as to what might occur
in the engine room when he had given his
signal from above.—Hon. George Edmund
Foss, Chairman of the Subcommittee on
Personnel of the House Naval Committee,
